Sorry, no pics, but am happy to report my new Runner finally has some protection from the WI weather and road salt. It's been almost two weeks since I brought it home and couldn't get any sealant or wax on it until today. :tsk:
This was definitely not a full detail, but better than nothing. Polishing will have to wait until Spring.
I haven't touched the interior yet, but will hopefully be able to get some carpet protectant and 303 protectant on the plastic dash portions soon.
Installed mud flaps after this, which ended up being more than enough effort for the day!

- Clean all glass, then apply RainX (I like to do this before washing, as you don't have to buff the RainX off then...works perfectly and no streaks)
- ONR wash
- Clay majority of surfaces (Duragloss wash solution for lube). It was FILTHY.
- Rewash with ONR / dry.
- Optimum Opti-Seal all surfaces, including door jams and back lift
- Collinite 845 paint and trim (yes, 845 works great on plastic trim!...just buff it off right away)
- Wiped down and dressed engine bay
- QD used on wheels for now. I usually seal them as well.
